Impact receipt printer for retail counters

The Epson TM-U295 uses a 7 pin shuttle impact dot matrix to print multi-part slips at 2.1 LPS. It accepts paper widths from 80.00 to 182.00 mm and lengths up to 257.00 mm with a thickness range of 0.09 to 0.35 mm. A parallel interface connects the unit to legacy POS systems.

Media capacity and headroom

The printer handles single sheets or multi-part forms within the stated width and length limits. It runs out of headroom when documents exceed 182.00 mm wide or 257.00 mm long, or when paper thickness falls outside the 0.09 to 0.35 mm range. The mechanism is rated for 7000000 lines MCBF.

Thermals noise and power draw

The unit operates on 24 VDC +/- 10% and draws approximately 600 mA during printing. Impact operation produces audible dot matrix noise typical of shuttle mechanisms. No active cooling fan is present so thermal output remains low in normal desktop use.

Questions about this item

Will the parallel port on the TM-U295 connect to my legacy POS terminal without an adapter?

The TM-U295 uses a parallel interface, so it plugs directly into a legacy POS terminal that has a matching parallel port.

How can I verify the 7-pin shuttle impact mechanism is printing at the rated 2.1 LPS after installation?

Run a self-test or print a test receipt; the output should advance at about 2.1 lines per second with clear 5 x 7 or 7 x 7 dot-matrix characters.

Does the open-box TM-U295 include the 24 VDC power supply or must I order it separately?

The power supply is sold separately; the box contains the printer mechanism, ribbon cartridge, and documentation, but no 24 VDC adapter.
